Lobbying VirtualBox for Gallium3D Support

In your Ticket you claimed, OpenCL was available over Gallium3D.
Is this really true? If so, is it usable? How can I test it?
Besides there really are some state trackers worth mentioning like OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0, EXA and X-Video.

I'm sorry, but I'm getting really irritated with these people. That VMware code I posted is open to the public. They can go in there and see, for themselves, how to do this. I have tried my best to make them aware of the benefits. And I see no reason why this can't be done using the existing Chromium pipe they have setup.

What am I missing?

Oracle.

I strongly suspect that they're having to justify anything they do within the context of what Oracle does. 3D isn't one of those things and it was a hack on top of things to begin with that they were able to get it all working. Since they're not 3D people to begin with and since this was something that a competitor did, they're blinded by things- and don't see the value of it and see it as just "throwing away good code" to paraphrase the responder in the bug entry.
